Recipient User Groups are removed while importing CALL Objects via REST API

Issue/Introduction

When a user exports a CALL object using the REST API's GET request, all recipient information—including "User," "Email," and "User Groups"—is successfully included in the resulting JSON file.

Example GET Request:

GET http://<hostname>:<port>/ae/api/v1/<client>/objects/<object_name>

However, when the user re-imports the same object using a POST request through the REST API, the recipient type "User Groups" are not retained. Only "User" and "Email" recipients are correctly imported.

Example POST Request:

POST http://<hostname>:<port>/ae/api/v1/<client>/objects?overwrite_existing_objects=true

The issue is not present while doing an XML import/export.
